Using recently uncovered archives and new scholarship, the exhibition will investigate the Dutch origins of New York as a diverse crossroads of goods and cultures. Among the highlights of the exhibition is the only surviving 17th-century document that records Peter Minuet’s legendary real estate deal with the local Lenni Lenape tribe for goods worth 60 guilders.
